Anurag Basu’s yet-to-be-titled film with Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela gets a release date

Filmmaker Anurag Basu’s yet-to-be-titled film, starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreelala, is set to release in theatres next year on April 30, the makers announced Thursday.

The announcement follows months of speculation about possible delays in the film’s production. Initially scheduled for release in 2025, the film was later pushed to 2026, with the makers now confirming its revised release date.

Sharing a behind-the-scenes photo of Aaryan and Sreelala from the sets of the film, production house T-Series, “A new story which will stay in your heart is ready to unfold on the big screen. Starring #KartikAaryan & #Sreeleela ‘Untitled’ film helmed by #AnuragBasu. Produced by #BhushanKumar. In cinemas on 30th April 2027,” reads the caption on Instagram.

The upcoming film marks Kartik’s first on-screen collaboration with Sreeleela.

In March, pictures of Aaryan arriving at the shoot location in Dooars’ Chalsa region went viral on social media. He sported a light grey jacket over a white t-shirt and jeans in the photos.

Back in February, Kartik shared a teaser of the upcoming film featuring Sreeleela. However, the title wasn’t revealed. The video introduced Sreeleela, who is set to make her Bollywood debut as Kartik’s love interest in the upcoming film. It shows Kartik in a rugged avatar, with long hair and beard. He appears as a rockstar, who plays the guitar and croons the song Tu Meri Zindagi Hai in front of a crowd.

In the next scene, Sreeleela and Kartik are seen riding a bike. We also see them sitting outside a cabin in the woods as Kartik plays the guitar and Sreeleela rests her head on his shoulder. Another scene shows them spending time together on top of a trailer.

The film’s music is composed by Pritam Chakraborty, with production by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under the banner of T-Series.
